I wouldn’t exactly call this a bold lip, not really red or pink either. It’s a good anytime lip color. I found this lipgloss at the bottom of one of my random beauty boxes. First off, this gloss gets major points from me because it isn’t packed with an overdone old lady scent like many inexpensive glosses.
I do believe there is such thing as the “perfect red” lip. But it’s not my style to rely on just one color in any makeup category! Take a look at the lip with and without the gloss.
Today’s Lip of the Day is a mix of budget brands. I totally forgot I owned the Maybelline lipgloss, and it worked perfectly with the Black Opal lipstick! I can model it for you, if you click the link below.
MAC Styledriver ‘Driven by Love’. Everything I dreamed it would be. Literally. It was the exact color that I chose for my submission for the “MAC Blogger Obsession” collection. Not at all in a bitter, “I can’t believe they didn’t choose me kind of way”, or a “they took my idea kind of way (because these collections are created months upon months in advance)”. I was more so thinking “I should have known this color was coming out, so I should have chosen a whole different concept” kind of way. I don’t think I can give explicit details, because we signed contracts. All in all, I love this lip color!!!
Eden Rouge Mattene lipstick is an instant winner just because it’s a Mattene. I live for them. They are silky smooth, weightless and last forever. It’s not the most interesting red lipstick I’ve ever seen in life, but it sure does look good!
Note: This product was sent for possible review consideration. This gave me the ability to touch, swatch and accurately review the product. This post reflects my honest opinion.
Looking for another amazing red lip? I’ve got one for ya! Introducing MAC Viva Glam 1. I overlooked this color for years! I bought every MAC Viva Glam Lipstick, because I wanted to help the cause. Once my love for lipsticks started earlier this year, I realized that this was a beast! This was the very first color in the Viva Glam series, with RuPaul as their spokesperson.
Again, let me stress the importance of your Viva Glam purchase. You’ll be sending $14 to people living with and/or affected by HIV and AIDS. In many countries, that can feed entires families for days. For more information on the MAC AIDS fund, and how you can help, check out Macaidsfund.org.
Venetian Lusterglass is also the perfect lipgloss for all of your red lip glosses. It’s sheer but makes a difference! I’ve got more on a certain Ru-Paul “Extravaganza Elaganza” coming later in the day! Stay tuned…
The pink lip! I can’t deny that it’s one of my favorites. Here’s a tame lip look that will look divine on all skin tones, from the lightest to the darkest! This week, I’m relying on my MAC Pro lipmix again. These are so great to have. You can smudge them in with your finger to create a stain, plus they’ve got tons of pigment. I’m sure I’ll have every color soon!
Let me tell you why I purchase glosses from Becca. They aren’t sticky, they last for a good while, there’s no taste and the colors aren’t found in every other company’s inventory. After you try your first one, you’ll see why.
